South Carolina College
From this College I have no report. My son, John C. Sellers, wrote to Professor R. Means Davis, who was a classmate of his in that College, for a report. The Professor replied that he would do so, but has never sent it. My grandson, Wallace D. Sellers, who was in the South Carolina College in 1899-1900, procured a catalogue of the Euphradian Society up to 1859, which shows the matriculates from Marion County, but who and how many of them graduated is not shown, as follows:
Robert H. Gregg, 1808
Ezra M. Gregg, 1817
Jeremiah Brown, 1819
Charles Godbold, 1819
D. Reese Gregg, 1825
John H. Latta, 1826

G. Cooper Gregg, 1836
O. S. Gregg, 1838

Dr. C. T. Ford
Rev. Rufus Ford

The graduates from Marion in female colleges are equally as numerous as in the male departments. I have not the list of them. In education, Marion County will rank as high, according to her population, as any county in the State. She is now fully awake to her interest in that regard.
